Chapter 324: What if I don't agree?
Su Xuecheng doubted he had heard wrong.
He didn't even bother cleaning the tea that had splashed on him, and turned to look at his wife beside him with surprise.
As a result, he found that his wife also had an equally astonished expression.
So Su Xuecheng confirmed that he had not heard incorrectly.
This kid really said 5 million.
"Ahem, you..."
Su Xuecheng cleared his throat, still hesitating on how to continue the conversation with Chen Fan.
However, Lin Wanxiu sneered from the side.
"5 million? You really have the nerve to say it out loud."
"What website is worth 5 million? Do you know how much 5 million is? Have you ever seen 5 million?"
Lin Wanxiu was almost amused by the ridiculousness of it all. In her view, Chen Fan was simply too unreliable.
He really took the two of them as a pair of clueless country bumpkins, and to save face for himself, he blurted out 5 million just like that.
If she didn't have a good impression of Chen Fan before, now her impression was even worse.
However, Su Xuecheng did not pay attention to his wife's suggestive glances, but instead smiled at Chen Fan.
"Xiao Chen, I don't understand much about the Internet. You just said you created a website and sold it for 5 million?"
"May I ask what kind of website it is?"
"Of course." Chen Fan nodded. "The website I created specializes in domain name trading, called Yuming.com."
"Domain name trading?"
Seeing Su Xuecheng's furrowed brows, clearly unfamiliar with the Internet, Chen Fan had to briefly explain what a domain name was.
Su Xuecheng finally understood.
"From what you're saying, such a website doesn't seem that difficult, how could it be sold for 5 million?"
Chen Fan smiled slightly. "Because I was the first one to eat the crab."
"There are quite a few websites doing domain name trading, but my website was the earliest, had the highest traffic, and provided the best service. If a company wanted to acquire one, they would naturally choose my website first."
"Uncle, it's like buying cakes. Suppose you have a cake shop, and you have the best baking skills, a great environment in your shop, and many customers. Later, many other shops emerge to imitate you. But they only imitate the superficial aspects, not your cake-making skills."
"If a big boss wants to acquire a cake shop, do you think he would consider your cake shop first?"
Su Xuecheng laughed. "A simple and vivid explanation, now I understand."
From the side, Lin Wanxiu couldn't help but secretly tug at her husband's clothes.
No, what's going on?
Why are you two still chatting?
You really believe this kid's lies?
Su Xuecheng smiled at his wife.
"Look at my poor memory, I got caught up chatting with you and didn't even offer you tea."
"Xiao Chen, try this tea, it's good tea..."
Then he smiled at his wife again. "You let the fruit all get eaten, go bring another plate."
Lin Wanxiu glared at him, but Su Xuecheng just smiled and gave her a look.
"Go on, I'll chat with Xiao Chen here. Daughter, you go with your mother."
Lin Wanxiu huffed and walked away.
Su Xuecheng shook his head with a smile, helpless with his wife.
He was different from his wife, his wife was impulsive and quick to judge by appearances.
But Su Xuecheng was more rational.
Leaving aside whether the 5 million Chen Fan had mentioned was true or false, just based on Chen Fan's calm and composed demeanor from the moment he entered until now when facing the two of them, as well as his articulate speech, Su Xuecheng felt this kid was different from other young people.
Moreover, the things Chen Fan had just said, although Su Xuecheng didn't understand them, it didn't hinder his judgment.
What Chen Fan said about domain names, websites, and such, couldn't possibly have been made up on the spot.
The eyes don't lie.
This kid spoke fluently during the conversation, showing not a hint of nervousness.
He was obviously a confident and talented person.
Such outstanding young people are not often seen.
Leaving aside whether the matter of selling the website for 5 million was true or false, based on Chen Fan's performance just now, Su Xuecheng felt the other party was worth his serious reconsideration.
After deliberately sending his wife and daughter away, Su Xuecheng began to broach the main topic, wanting to probe whether Chen Fan was lying or not.
"You mentioned startup capital earlier, did you use those 5 million to open an internet cafe?"
Chen Fan nodded and shook his head.
"Yes. Actually, it wasn't just one internet cafe, but two cafes. Of course, I later also opened a club..."
"It's just that too many things happened this year, one of the cafes got demolished, and I also sold that club."
Su Xuecheng listened with a perplexed expression. "Demolished?"
"Doesn't that mean your internet cafe was opened for nothing?"
Chen Fan shook his head. "Not really. When I originally opened the internet cafe, I also bought the property rights to the building."
Su Xuecheng was taken aback. "So you got demolition compensation? These days, demolition is a good thing, right? How much did you get? Was it over a million?"
Chen Fan felt a bit embarrassed. "That internet cafe didn't have a very large area, so the demolition compensation was only over 10 million yuan."
Bang!
The sound of shattering ceramics rang out from the kitchen.
"Mom... what are you doing!" Su Ruochu's startled voice came through.
Followed by Lin Wanxiu's voice.
"Nothing, nothing... I just slipped."
Su Xuecheng also stared at Chen Fan with his mouth agape.
He had originally intended to probe Chen Fan's truthfulness through conversation.
But this kid was really not polite, immediately mentioning over 10 million.
They should know that the small company their family ran could barely make 10 million a year through hard work.
Was this kid really bragging or telling the truth?
Su Xuecheng found that he could no longer see through it.
"You... you..."
Su Xuecheng suddenly found that he couldn't continue questioning.
Instead, Chen Fan very thoughtfully picked up the teapot and poured Su Xuecheng a cup of tea.
"Uncle, I understand what you want to ask."
"I can assure you that everything I've said is true."
"You also know that my parents are just ordinary rural folks, they couldn't possibly have bought me that car outside."
"You're a perceptive person, you can tell at a glance how much that car is worth."
"Although I'm still a student now, I've started my own business and have achieved some success and savings."
"The reason I mentioned money earlier wasn't because I wanted to show off, but because I wanted to reassure you both that if Ruochu ends up with me, she will never suffer any hardship."
"I have the ability to make her happy and live a fulfilling life."
"Uncle, please don't doubt my feelings for Ruochu."
"I truly like her, and that hasn't changed from the past until now."
"So I hope you two elders will agree to our relationship."
Su Xuecheng was dazed.
For a while, he didn't know how to respond.
His gaze unconsciously turned towards the kitchen, only to find that his wife and daughter were secretly eavesdropping by the door.
Especially Lin Wanxiu, who was holding a fruit plate at the moment, clearly having heard Chen Fan's words just now, yet unprecedentedly not rushing over to interrupt.
After a silence of two seconds.
Su Xuecheng suddenly looked at Chen Fan and smiled.
"But what if... I don't agree?"
